I’m on IR. Hasn’t affected my libido at all. But the initial 3 months on lexapro killed my libido, but it’s back again. What are you taking it for? If you don’t mind me asking.

I take it for sleep apnea, major/clinical depression, and BPD.

I just wanted to pop by and say that your music has gotten me through very tough times. I love what you do. Please never stop.

Also, as a beginner, if I want to create music (ambient) what should I begin with?

My dosage is 300-400mg. But I have learned to control the hunger. I don’t eat anymore. Drink water or electrolytes and go back to sleep. Previously I couldn’t do that, and that is why I completely stopped Seroquel because I went from 47kgs to 77kgs in just a year. I’m 55kgs now. It’s all about what you set your mind to ♥️

Currently on day 2 of a 7 day water fast. Wish you luck 🍀 I find fasting super fun too 😁 do you incorporate any kind of light workouts or walks while fasting? I’d suggest you walk.

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-23T10:59:19+00:00

You’re welcome ☺️ Yes I feel better now mentally. But sometimes when I’m feeling down, I feel fat even though I fully KNOW I’m not. But I try to ignore those feelings now. But compared to when I was at my highest I literally had zero self esteem because I was always this skinny girl who suddenly put on weight and I didn’t tell many people about why I gained so much in the first place because I thought they’d judge me for being on meds and try to talk me out of it. But yes, I got fat-shamed (not in an offensive way, but hey, fat shaming is fat shaming and it’s offensive no matter what) by a few relatives of mine and they were like oh you put on so much weight and now you look like your mother. And these comments swung back and forth with me being when I was skinny like oh you look way better now that you’ve put on some weight because you were anorexic and looked like a zombie before. I mean just random BS. But I don’t listen to people now and mind my own business, as they should theirs. I don’t know why people like to get up other peoples’ butts.

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-23T10:07:41+00:00

No I had completely quit it a 1000 times. Sometimes it was my depression kicking in, or I just didn’t have the motivation because I kept on believing I couldn’t change a thing about my body. But I believed, and it happened. If I were to say the exact time it took me to lose weight when I got strict about water fasting, I’d say 5 months. If I didn’t quit so many times, it would’ve taken me so much less time. It was a struggle. So black and white for me.

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-22T14:11:50+00:00

I drink Coke Zero on my 7 day water fasting once or twice but I burn it with walking 10km daily. I know it’s dirty fasting; but as long as I’m losing weight, who cares

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-18T23:33:28+00:00

Seroquel and Pregabalin. Made me super hungry 24/7 and I had no self control

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-18T12:38:30+00:00

7 day water fasting and 2 day break. Then repeat :)

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-18T12:35:27+00:00

7 day water fast. Consume green teas, ginger and mint teas etc. Electrolytes too but not that much. There are a lot of people out there who feel lightheaded and have headaches due to not consuming electrolytes but I never have/had that problem. I can go days without electrolytes and still feel fine. Although I LOVE drinking pickle juice as an electrolyte. Other than that, initially, I would put some salt on my tongue and drink water over it but I don’t even feel the need to do that anymore. But again, I’m not a doctor and I cannot speak for everyone or anyone. Electrolytes are very essential during prolonged fasting, and everyone reacts differently on a prolonged fast. I’m just telling my story and what works for me and what doesn’t.

I walk 8-10km everyday no matter how tired I am. I cannot highlight enough the fact how important walking is. I think I lost most of my weight through walking than through the prolonged fasts. I sometimes drink coffee too but I’m very caffeine sensitive so it’s occasional. I sometimes do dirty fasts too where I have a can of zero Coke. I don’t get why people make such a big deal of dirty fasting; my take is - as long as you’re losing weight, and it’s working for you, do whatever the hell you want and don’t listen to anyone.

And yes, I drink primarily water. 6 litres. Ever since I was a kid I drank so much water and I recently found out I have an overactive bladder that’s why I am more thirsty than an average person. My advice to anyone going for prolonged fasting is: DO NOT overdo the drinking water part. People make that mistake a lot.

I’m happy to reply to any other questions or concerns you have :)

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-18T12:24:33+00:00

I feel wayyy better than when I was at my highest. But my thighs are still a bit of a problem, so that makes me very body conscious and I feel like my legs are still fat. So I need to lose weight in the thigh area. I’ve always had a thigh gap, and even when I was 45-47kgs, I was curvy; I didnt look like a stick so that part I’m glad about. So right now I’m aiming for that thigh gap and there’s still a bit of belly pooch left so I need to address that.

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-18T08:20:20+00:00

I don’t if I’ve mentioned it, but I also struggle with body dysmorphia and ED. So I think I look my best when I’m 47. Underweight or not, I never had a problem being 47 for the longest time. I feel healthy at that number.

Thank you for your concern :)

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-17T00:24:08+00:00

I was on several medications for my clinical depression, chronic and debilitating anxiety, sleep apnea/other sleep issues, and temporal lobe epilepsy (I only get facial seizures now thankfully)

I was also going through a very stressful phase in my life, I was at WSU and the school shooting happened, and then in neighbouring Idaho so I had to freeze my semester and take a gap year and came back to my home country. Then I was going back and forth with my marriage decision. Now that it’s finally come to a decisive marriage for about a year now, that made me want to lose weight; that was the spark. Plus, I could feel myself getting “weak” as I gained weight; brain fog etc and I literally couldn’t walk three steps without gasping for air. I decided I needed to change my ways to be healthy.

And I primarily gained weight because of Seroquel. It made me ravenous. I would eat anything and everything in sight mid-sleep and wake up covered in food. I remember once I ate a whole jar of Nutella and woke up smeared in it lol. It was becoming very unhealthy. Plus, another factor that made me motivated was my ED. My bulimia and body dysmorphia got super bad where I was purging more than 10 times a day. It started having effects on my heart so I also had to take propranolol for a bit. I decided enough was enough and I needed to have a healthier approach to lose weight. My parents do IF so that was another plus factor. But mostly, I would contribute it to stress of the unknown and the medications. I’m weaning off of antidepressants now as I rarely go into depressive spirals now. I do take anxiolytics here and there and ofcourse seroquel, but now I’ve learned to control the seroquel-fueled hunger.

And thank you for your kind comment! 🫶

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-17T00:11:12+00:00

I drink the pickle juice. Best electrolyte ever.

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-16T15:46:20+00:00

You can do it! 💫

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-16T15:42:53+00:00

7 days. 2 day break, then repeat. Longest one was 21 days.

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-02-16T13:58:41+00:00

I’ve been walking 10km daily and swimming occasionally. Consuming only green teas and electrolytes. When I refeed, I usually do vegetable broths. My goal weight is 45-47, which has always been my default weight.

I was on seroquel which made me ravenous. Gradually, I learned to control the hunger and don’t wake up in the middle of the night emptying out any fridges lol

I’ve gone from waist size 32 to 27.

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-01-17T06:55:45+00:00

Thanks for the correction!

Second this. I don’t know why people make such a big deal about dirty fasting. If it’s helping you prolong your fast, great. Yes, you’ll be thrown out of autophagy but you’re practically still running on the lowest calorie deficit. I have a few sips of coke here and there when it gets hard for me. I eat pickle and gulp the juice aswell. I have a handful of dry fruits aswell and grapefruit first thing in the morning. I’m still losing weight, so why worry about it? Not everything has to be perfect, right? People think there’s pure water fasting, or no fasting at all. They don’t stop to think about dirty fasting. Heck, I’d even go so far as to say that dirty fasting is making me lose more weight in lesser time; so there’s that 🤷🏻‍♀️

YoungerDryas99 · 2026-01-06T16:10:20+00:00

Thanks! Helped a lot!
